Apple Inc. said it was shutting down its Lala.com online music service at the end of May, a move prompting speculation the iPhone maker might soon launch a new Web-based version of its iTunes music store.

The iPhone 3GS has been an undeniable marketplace hit since its release on June 19, and will likely continue to soar in sales despite three customer complaints that have surfaced recently. The big three gripes: the iPhone 3GS battery life is dismal, the 3GS overheats, and there's a serious SMS vulnerability.

People still speculate that Apple will release a netbook. I think this is more from hope rather than evidence-supported speculation - currently, anyway, Apple's position is that the iPhone and iPod touch are both functionally netbooks already.
